Most of my development career in on Microsoft technologies. So, do not assume that I don't know what I'm talking about here. I've used Visual Studio versions from 6.0 to the latest 2010 RC. Your perception of the Open Source users is very wrong. Many people such as yourself may be comfortable in using proprietary technologies without really understanding what's the real purpose of a software product. Open source is the heart of software. From your term 'open source garbage' I can safely guess that you have never used any open source software. You have to really use some open source software to appreciate it or the philosophy of open source. Now, the review here is NOT about what is better. It's a comparison that would help people who are eying alternatives for Visual Studio. Believe, me there are hell lot of people who are looking out for alternatives to Visual Studio. Another thing, for you to make statements such as 'there is nothing comparable to Visual Studio' you have to really have worked in other IDE products which I strongly doubt.

Visual Studio is the best IDE out there. There is nothing comparable to it. NOTHING. The only reason people use open source garbage is 'cause they don't like to pay for things. Open souce (from linux to sharpdevelop) is the poor man's solution. Just my 2 cents. Which version of Visual Studio do you have in mind ?

Compare that to a Visual Studio installation (if you can ;). I've been amused by seing how comparable to visual studio this is. Btw, good review.
